The 107437 is a Tektronix Guernsey numbering - unrelated the Bxxxxxx number from Beaverton - I imagine there's a correspondence but I doubt it was documented.
You best bet is to compare the board level revisions against those the low/high Bxxxxxx manuals.

The "high" serial numbers for the 465B are S/N B0600000 and up. That's how it is stated on the cover of the high S/N version of the 465B service manual.
The 465B high S/N manual is marked copyright 1982. The previous version was marked copyright 1979.
The leading alpha character designates the manufacturing location and I am not sure how Tek controlled the assigned numeric characters with respect to the alpha characters. Hopefully, someone can clarify that.
Note that the High/Low break point is different for the 465 Model.
